My name is Michelle Aukerman. And I just have to say that Joyce at True Health Acupuncture is probably the best ultrasound technician I have ever had in my life and I’ve been through several. She’s very personal and talks through everything and if something goes wrong, she says OK how do we make this right? What’s the next step we need to take? You don’t hear that from any other ultrasound tech, they're so jaded. The comfort environment at True Health Acupuncture is unmatchable. It does not feel like a doctor's office and everybody is so warm but when it comes to Joyce, she is completely unmatched. It’s like having your own mother right there with you. I highly highly recommend her.
Thank you, the Aukerman’s
This is the second pregnancy that I came to Joyce for my outside monitoring. I have been very nervous about the whole process, but Joyce guided me through each and every ultrasound. Although the monitoring went smoothly, upon achieving pregnancy I developed some bleeding. Of course, I panicked. Joyce explained everything that was going on with my bleeding and helped me through this anxious time. I don’t know what I would have done without Joyce’s calm demeanor. And the added bonus is having acupuncture treatment right there at True Health Acupuncture, the office Joyce works out of. I will always be truly thankful for the amazing experience that I received from both Joyce and True Health to be a part of my fertility journey.

Joyce is an exceptional individual who made a significant impact during my IVF journey. I had the privilege of meeting her when I needed support, and she was able to perform ultrasounds when our IVF Dr was unable to accommodate us. Her ability to confirm our twin pregnancy was incredibly reassuring. Joyce took the time to explain everything she was observing, which not only made the experience more memorable but also helped alleviate my anxiety. Her compassionate approach truly made a difference in my experience.

Nesting and Waiting (Weeks 33-36)
As you move deeper into the third trimester, the anticipation builds. Your baby is reaching the final stages of maturation before birth, and you might find yourself overcome with a powerful instinct to prepare your home for their arrival.
During these weeks, your baby's main focus is on gaining weight and getting ready for the outside world. Their lungs are one of the last major organs to fully mature, producing a crucial substance called surfactant that will help them breathe independently after birth. Their bones are hardening, though the skull plates will remain soft and separate to allow for an easier passage through the birth canal.
Sometime during this period, most babies will settle into their final, head-down (vertex) position, getting ready for delivery. Your doctor will monitor this at your appointments.
For you, the physical realities of carrying a nearly full-term baby become more pronounced. With the baby taking up so much space, you may experience shortness of breath as your lungs have less room to expand, and heartburn as your stomach is pushed upwards. Eating smaller, more frequent meals can help with both.
You might also find yourself filled with a sudden burst of energy and an overwhelming desire to clean, organize, and prepare your home for the baby. This is famously known as the "nesting instinct." While not all women experience it, it's a common and powerful drive to create a safe and welcoming environment for your newborn. It's a productive instinct, but be sure not to overexert yourself—listen to your body and accept help when it's offered.
This is also the perfect time to finalize your birth plan. A birth plan is a simple document that outlines your preferences for labor and delivery. It can cover things like who you want in the room with you, your preferences for pain management, and your wishes for immediate postpartum care. It's not a contract, but a communication tool to help you, your partner, and your medical team be on the same page.
Starting your cycle
Starting an IVF cycle is stressful enough, doing it with an out-of-state provider just increases that stress. That is why we have developed an out-of state monitoring program to help women that need ultrasound monitoring without having to travel to their provider. We follow your physicians instructions and with be able to accommodate your schedule. Most all cycles, whether retrievals or transfers, will need 2-3 ultrasounds during that cycle. All reports can be faxed or emailed to your physician within 2-3 hours after the exam is finished.
